Spinning science: Nanotechnology and financial news
Tuesday 22 November 18:30 - 20:00
How will popular journalism shape public debates over nanotechnology?
Given the crucial role of financial institutions in the current and
future development of nanotechnologies what role will the financial and
business media play in the debate surrounding risks and uncertainties?
Are there differences between how public risk and business risk are
communicated and how does the interplay between nanotech companies,
financial journalists, public relations and press officers affect the
debate?
Mary Ebeling, University of Surrey and principal investigator from the
ESRC funded 'Spinning Science: the Nanotech Industry and Financial News'
will discuss plans for her new research project addressing these
questions. Mary will be joined by a panel including journalists Jim
Giles - Nature, Chris Spink - Growth Company Investor and financial
Public Relations consultant Jonathon Rees - Proof Communication.
